Arrived today from Cabellas...$30, but well worth it. I use to load them by hand and while it's nice to run through 25 rounds without a mag change, after 2 or 3 loadings it was like "f**k it, I'm done" :sniper:
The loader is a cheap looking, and feeling, poorly made ugly piece of plastic s**t....but it works! First go was about a minute to load a mag...but nearly zero effort. Bit of shaking and rattling to get the rounds to slide down, turn slowly and stop if there is too much resistence, and mag is loaded with no f**ked up rounds. Should have bought one of these YEARS ago....now buying a 5000 round crate of .22lr makes sense :) :cool:
 
got back from the range today.. beside my wingmaster slugs, went through a box of 500 22LR round loaded by thumb.. on my way home.. the first thing i said is..

HOLY F#CK I NEED A MAG LOADER! Never again!

Do you guys had time to experiment what is the best one for 10/22 mags ?

Cabelas have a "HOT lips" mag loader

Thats the one I got for my 25 round steel lips mags, works as advertised...never tried loading the factory 10 round rotarty mags with it...
 
They work well, I don't bother to use mine on the 10 rd. mags. You have to get a sort of cadence or rythum going when using one, but I wouldn't give mine up!!
 
i guess Hot lips loader does not mean anything since most shooter must have loader this with Steel Lips mags. thats it.. i'll start to scan sponsors for a BC Mag loader.

Same unit it has always been, I'm not sure why Cabelas calls it a hot-lips loader....
 
Is this better than the Shooter's Ridge loader? I use one of those to load both my plastic lip SR mags and steel BC mags and it works ok, not great. It has a lot of trouble loading rotary mags.

I only have the Ruger 10-rnd mags. It works, but it does take a rythm. I also found that I manually load 1 round into each magazine and it goes a lot smoother for the remaining 9.

Hope that helps (I have 15 clear rotary-mags BTW, it definitely saves a lot of time and effort).
